How to Treat .retrersen Davis.
Sundry s ympathizers with Jr.FFEnSOII
Davis have complained that "he. is not
treated with the respect due to a man who
31::s filled such a distinguished office is his
native State." If this means his pseudo
presidency of the so-called Southern Con-
I t eleration, it may be fairly questioned
e$ - nether that. can or will be considered a
dieinetien. He has occupied honorable
efeitions—when he served in. the United
eietes army ; when he wart a member of
Congress ; when he quitted civil life to serve
31exican war ; when he was in the
Senate, and when he was Secretary of
War in the Admieistration of President
vIETICE. When perjuring himself by
breaking the oath of allegiance, he had
taken, over and over again, he be
came the leader of the rebellion.
DANIS Satin at once, and forever, into
one of the me:meet characters the world
ever saw. He knew—none better—
that, timing the last two years, the rebel
lion was utterly hopeless, but could not
Tiling himself to acknowledge it, because
that would send him back into insignifi
canee. He resembled Cerareetu in. conspi
racy end treason, but wanted the courage
of that great criminal, who died in the
;Attie-field with his face to the foe. Haves
loved life too well to hazard it in that
manner. He crept under his wife's petti
coat for safety and flight, and so the dark
tragedy of his four
.) - ears' rebellion ended
'with what has often been shown on the
Stage, in the scene of a burlesque-
That DAVIS has to be kept in safe custody
and deptived of all chance of communi
cating with his coconspirators, must be ob
liens to the meanest capacity. His sympa
thizers, it may be presumed; would prefer
that a handsomely-furnished suite of rooms
should be provided for him, in Fortress
ereeroe, or some mere accessible place,
wherein he might live like a gentleman at
ease, hold levees, receive his deputations,
answer letters, read the newspapers, enter_
lain his friends, with a Boyer to superintend
his cuisine, treat his visitors to a choice
of liquors, (including, of course, the J. B.
rye,) and have the run of the whole place,
upon his parole--as if a man who has
broken so many oaths could consider him-
Rif bound by any parole . 1
DAVIS is kept in safe custody, and has
ample opportunity for reviewing the Past.
"Dark Spirit! what must be
The ramluess of thy memory Vt
In that captivity, where Remorse and
baffled Ambition must eat his heart away,
he ought to be thankful that he is so well
Cared for. His food is suppled from the
Doctor's table, and he is subjected to no ill
treatment. Very different, indeed, is his
imprisonment from that which, under his
own eye and with his full knowledge and
approval, our brave soldiers,. made prison
ers in the war, experienced in the Libby
tobacco warehouse; where they were treated
worse than Mengrels in a kennel ; where
they had bad food and little of at ; where a
word of complaint or remonstrance was
met with a blow or a stab ; where a man
who looked out of the window was instantly
shot down by one of the Rebel sentries ;
and where, in the cellar of that horrible
place, a torpedo was buried, which was to
be exploded with destruction to the prison
and all its inmates, in the event of Rich
mond being captured. It would have been
retributive justice, certain of the world's
approval, if DAVIS had been treated, in his
imprisonment, as he treated our gallant
brethren in the Libby prison, or at Antler-
Sonvill and Belle Isle. Few would take
exception to his being compelled to expe
rience pangs such as he caused, and suffer
ings such as he sanctioned.
There is historical precedent, too, for
thus subjecting the wrong-doer to some of
his own curiosities of punishment. One
particularly presents itself to our mind in
connection with this case. About four
centuries ago, Cardinal LA BALUE became
Secretary to Lours XI, of France, one of
the worst monarchs who ever ruled in any
country, and *hose character has been
faithfully drawn in SCOTT'S 44 geentin
Durwald," and in Mon:Ear's "Life of
Charles the Bold." This BALITE served his
master with great Zeal for several years,
and, indeed, with that strong relish for per-
Zonal cruelty which was common to both.
Among the private contemplations of Car
dinal LA SALVE were various plans for
increasing the tortures, mental and bodily,
of the numerous unfortunates who were
Condemned to imprisonment in the reign
Of Ring Lours. In the castle of Locher,
which was used as a State prison,
the Cardinal had a number of iron cages
erected. They were of his own inven
tion, and constructed with horrible in
genuity, so that a person of ordinary size
could neither stand up at his full height
nor lie lengthwise in them. After BALUIt
Was made Cardinal, he betrayed his master
into the hands of Crtartmessthe Bold, by
strongly urging him to go, unattended, to a
personal conference with CELAIILES at Pe
ronne. King hours narrowly escaped with
his life, and immediately on his return to
France arrested BALUg, (who confessed his
treason,) and not daring, on account of his
sacred calling to send him to the scaffold,
immured him, at Loches, in one of his own
iron cages, where he was detained for
eleven years, a public show and scorn,
until, at last, the traitor was liberated, at
the request of Pope Srxrus IV. Surely,
if J3ALUE so deserved to linger for years of
captivity in one of his own cages, the
worse traitor, DAVIS, might have sub
mitted to a little of the same tender hu
manity which he manifested iu the Libby
and other prisons.
No More Obstacles to Northern Enterprise
in the South.
Before the rebellion thousands of the
ablest mechanics and capitalists of the North
had settled in the South and embarked in
various enterprises and avocations. The
flower of our Northern youth were found
in many of the old Southern communities,
and the prosperity of all the Southern
States was in a great part the result of
Northern gen ius, skill, industry, and so
briety. Within ten or fifteen years, how
ever, this element, so useful in these im
portant considerations, excited suspicion
and dislike. It was generally an intelli
gent, and, above all, an inquiring ele
ment, and no great idolater of slavery.
The;e Northern and Western settlers
were quiet observers of the passing
drama, but never disturbers of the
peace of the slave empire in which they
dwelt. Yet they were never safe unless
they became the al , ject tools of slavery.
Of course, many refused with disdain.
These were forced out long before the war.
In this city we can name a 'number who
had to fly on account of their Northern
birth and suspected Northern feelings. All
these were modest business men. Im
mense fortmes were thus lost, and the best
and most useful inventions ruined or post
poned. With the rebellion came other dis
asters to a yet larger interest. for there
were great houses in the North that had
given heavily of their capital to railroads
machine shops, gold mines, &c ~.Sic. These
Went by the board almost in a moment. A
better time is at hand. The plundered and
Persecuted can reclaim their own. It is no
longer a capital crime to be opposed to
slavery in the South. There is no em
bargo upon the young and the enterprising
of whatever class or color. No law, city,
or State can retard the efforts of active
VOL. 8.-NO. 264.
men, or the aspirations of the active brain
of other regions and nations. The South
is like a newly discovered country, unsell
cd to the wealth and the energies of all the
world.
The Russian E'aniine-Fever.
Xeningitis is the scientific name of the
disease which has lately been called "The
Russian Plague," and which was said to
have crossed the Ural mountains from
the deserts of Siberia, established itself in
St. Petersburg, and advanced over the
valley of the Vistula in its progress to the
west of Europe. At the same time, a
somewhat similar disease, epidemic in its
nature, had caused great devastation in
Eastern Prussia. It has been ascertained
that Meningitis did not come from Prussia,
was not the Oriental plague, and really is
identical with the famine-fever which so
fearfully depopulated Ireland in 1.340-47.
It is a typhus of the deadliest character,
containing nearly every element of the
Egyptian plague, and, indeed, when epi
demic (as it was in Ireland) is the plague
in a modified form. It exists more or less
in all the great cities of Europe, and -can
only be prevented and mitigated by a suffi
ciency of wholesome food, cleanly houses
andhabits, adequate sewerage and drainage,
and streets thoronghly cleaned and con
stautly bent in that condition. If it should
break out in Philadelphia; where an useful
and efficient Board of Health has the power
of cleansing those parts of the city where
the population is most dense and the streets
not well kept free from impurities, it will
probably not be general ; but in New York,
where the by-streets are rarely cleansed, and
where, from want of space, immense num
bers of the very poorest persons are crowded
into tenement houses, it is to be feared
that this famine-fever may 'speedily ripen
into a devastating epidemic. In no great
city are the working classes so healthily
and comfortably housed as in Philadelphia
—which is not the case in New York.
The population here is crowded in only a
few localities, and these are of old creation.
With ordinary precaution, therefore, we
may reasonably calculate upon being able
to maintain this city in general good health.

however, that the throne of Maximilian may be
endangered by the help which Juarez may got
from toe American people In ways which will give
Napoleon no right to remonstrate with Johnson.

THE, CAPTOP. OF JEFF Dane Ile
Pin-
LeAMLPHrA—General Pritchard late colonel of
the 4th Michigan Cavalry, since promoted, the cap
tor of Jeff Davis, visited the Corn Exchange rooms,
on Saturday morning, and, upon being introduced
by A. G. Cotten, Eeq., was enthusiastically ree
etioed by the member or Um fizon-west..-- etnee-seree
ral roads a brief Aneeoh in which he thanked the
gentlemen for the honor which they had conferred
upon Lim, and upon being requested to say some•
thing In regard to the capture of Jeff Davis, he
said that at the time his men captured the arch
traitor they knew nothing of the reward offered for
him, as President Johnson's proclamation had not
reached that part of the South.
His men, be said, were actuated only by , pure and
patriotic motives, and oared very little for the re
ward, but were jealous of the honor which they had
thee achieved for themselves. Jeff, When captured,
it seems, was on his way to the trans-Mississippt
district, where he intended to gather and rally
around the remnants of Southern chivalry, and
make the war as long and as bloody as penal°. The
General concluded amidst loud cheering.
Yesterday afternoon the General paid a visit to
Independence Hall. Ho was accompanied by a
friend in citizen's dress. The "star 'I on the ghoul.
der of the distinguished visitor revealed his reek,
and, uporebelme recognized by Clitarlee B. Lex, Esq.,
it was spew:illy known that General Pritchard was
there. The word was given, and half a dozen boys
ratted the my, and helependonce Hall was soon
crowded. This scene was more than Gen. Pritchard
expected. He simply desired to take a silent view
of the Hall of independence, so recently honored
with the remain of the late President Lincoln.
Everything was done to cheek the Increasing axone.

Among tee spontaneous visitor% was William
B. Mann, the District attorney, who, after being
introduced, alluded briefly to the most recent scene
In the last sot of the four years drama. General
Pritchard entered Into a vary agreeable conversa
tion, detailing, in language at mice pleasant and
entertaining', the minute particulars of the capture
of the principal fomenter of the rebellion that had
drenched the soil of the Country with human
blood. lie said he felt a eeneratieni overawe ,
lag him, that he could not tiosorioo, ad he
stepped within the Hall so sacred, amid
elidch clusters those revolutionary reminiscences
that should always awaken a pure, unfaltering love
'and devotion to the great, humane, and wise Mete
tutites of our country. All present shook hands
with the captor of Jeff," and, at his earnest :re
quest evereteleg was done to prevent any reeogni

faction of marching to your homes with your Mors

To have belonged to the 114th Regiment, and to
have fought with the army of the Potomac, is a geo.
roue record for any man. You have always been
foremost in the fight, at your 'depleted ranks will
testify; and your high teedierly quatitteil and gentle.
manly deportment have earned for yod the praise of
every general under whom you have served.
In parting With you, afters and men, lam at a

Hee of the pasta But amidst all our joy, all our
gratitude for life and health, we must not forget

whose wounds have disqualified them for the ordi ,

The page of this war's history which bears the
honored names of Chandler, Eliot, Eddg, Fix, Can.
ningham, Marlon, Cullen, Henkle, and many others,
will be read by you in after years with mingled
pride and sorrow.
As you have always been prompt in the past to
obey the commands of your superiors, believe me I
am now prepared and anxious to obey yours. I bid
you farewell, and God bless you.
The General was then loudly and enthneMetteally
cheered, after which the men shook heatds with
him. The Reams will take a prominent part in
the coming review.
